UPDATE: June 16, 2022
On behalf of the current and future Osborn residents who call Rye their home and all our employees who work in Rye, I would like to thank the Rye City Council for its supermajority vote of six to one in favor of The Osborn’s zoning text amendment application. This has been a collaborative process that began three-and-a-half years ago and has included many City Council meetings, Planning Commission meetings, as well as extensive input from the councilmembers and our neighbors. This approval reaffirms The Osborn’s partnership with the City of Rye and our standing as a good community neighbor, and could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of our staff, our Board of Trustees, and the community as a whole.
As we have discussed throughout these many months, this approval is only the first step in our ability to improve our campus for the future. We now turn to the site planning phase which will take time and input from our residents, staff, neighbors, and the Rye Planning Commission. We look forward to this next chapter of collaboration and appreciate the flexibility the new zoning allows for envisioning and planning The Osborn’s future.

The Osborn has a rich past in the community, but now we must look to the future. Envision is based on the belief the best days of The Osborn are ahead of us. It has been nearly 25 years since The Osborn has updated our facilities to provide the highest quality of service and care to our 400+ residents and offer the best work environment for our 750+ employees.
#OsbornEnvision
We’re excited to empower our 2022 initiative with a celebratory campaign that we’ve called #OsbornEnvision. It features personal testimonials from our residents, family members, staff, and civic and business partners across the Rye community. Their testimonies inspire us with their love, passion, and support for The Osborn’s Envision initiative.
While The Osborn enjoys a beautiful campus operating in harmony between architecture and nature, its true essence is the residents who are wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends, and active neighbors throughout the Rye community.
Over the last 20 years, a lot of change has occurred, so the time has come for The Osborn to write the next chapter of our legacy of care for our residents, as well as continued partnership with the City of Rye. We owe it to our current and future families to have the flexibility for our campus to evolve, ensuring we can meet the future needs of seniors.
If you have any questions or want to show your support for our thoughtful updating of the campus, please feel free contact our Envision team at envisionteam@theosborn.org. We look forward to working with our residents, staff, families and the community to make sure The Osborn is here and thriving for many generations to come.
